Operation Orchid
Orchids, orchids everywhere! Did you get an orchid on April 2? If you did not, maybe you'll improve and get one next year.
Operation Orchid... What was it? A day set aside to give recognition to all outstanding students and teachers who have helped to make Windber high a better school.
The orchids came from the art room; the announcements came from the office. Students wrote on slips of paper the names of people they thought had earned the right to wear an orchid and dropped the papers in the boxy marked "Operation Orchid" on the main floor. These names were announced throughout the day. Orchids were distributed from the council room.
Mrs. Probert Talks to H. Relations Class
One day last week Mrs. Probert, freshman English teacher, stepped out of her teacher role into the role of a parent of a 16-year-old daughter-this all for the benefit of Mrs. Shaffer's class in human relations.
Mrs. Probert answered questions pertaining to problems that arise between parents and their children.
For keeping peace and harmony in the family, Mrs. Probert urges teen-agers to consider the following:
1-Getting in at the time parents request.
2-Letting parents know where and with whom you are going.
3-Phoning your parents and letting them know when you can't keep your promises.
4-Date in groups instead of singles.
Farm Petroleum Safety is a new color motion picture film available free from the Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg. Every rural organization should show it at their meeting.

OUR CAT
We have a cat
Which I always pat
On the back of the neck,
For which Mom gives ire heck.
She always says, "My lands,
Go wash your hands,"
Which I do. . .
But I'm asking you,
What's the use of a cat
That you cannot pat?
